Blackburn BID's Website is joining Discover Blackburn

Since Blackburn BID launched Discover Blackburn, the site has become the go-to place for everything that happens in Blackburn town centre. As part of the ongoing promotion of the town and its businesses, the BID pages will be moving over to Discover Blackburn in the near future.

All service businesses will be added too, providing a comprehensive directory of everything Blackburn has to offer.

This site is not currently being updated but if you have any questions, please do get in touch.

We had a really good event and lots of footfall. I feel the events will create us some new regular visitors, as a few did stay to play. We also had some who said they didn't know what we did but will be back, which is amazing! All in all the event was brilliant and we will definitely be more happy to take part in this kind of event again.

Thanks for letting us be a part of the Sand Sculpture trail - the kids have all loved it!

“We’ve had lots of interest from families with trail leaflets who have been coming in, and buying things when they come in. They’re going around the trail and they’ve told us about the models at the other locations. They’re really impressed with the sculpture. The kids are loving it! It’s really good for us. Customers come back again to see what else we’ve got.”

The activities create something special for the town. They give families something to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming in to the shop as a result. The BID should be proud of itself.
